Lijiang Pavilion, A Phoenix Comes private room.
Outside the window is the night scene on the river, brilliantly lit, with crowds of tourists.
"Captain Li, you're really splurging today, actually opening a private room at Lijiang Pavilion."
"Thanks to Mr. Lu, maybe we can get a group third-class merit, what's one meal compared to that?" Li Jinglin stood up and shook hands with Lu Zheng.
Now this was the first time Lu Zheng had met Li Jinglin, they had never seen each other before.
"You're too kind, I was just in the right place at the right time, really just a coincidence."
Li Jinglin's eyes were bright, clearly a tough character.
"Sit down."
Li Jinglin invited Lu Zheng to sit, "Government officials can't drink Moutai at official or private banquets, so let's drink Wuliangye instead."
"Anything works for me!"
The waiter filled the glasses, and everyone raised their glass together.
They chatted while eating.
